Publication number: 20240168982Abstract: Systems for processing queries may first determine correspondence between the parameters of the query and a set of existing data entries, a set of previous queries that have been received, or both the existing data entries and the previous queries. If the query parameters do not correspond to the data entries or pervious queries, correspondence is determined between the query parameters and group data that associates at least a subset the query parameters with a particular group that may generate a response to the query. The same group or the generated response may be used when similar queries are received. If the group transmits the query to a different group or if negative user feedback is received, the group data may be modified to indicate the different group or to remove the association with the initial group that received the query.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Pratyus Patnaik, Marissa Mary Montgomery, Jay Srinivasan, Suchit Agarwal, Rajhans Samdani, David Colby Kaneda, Nathaniel Ackerman Rook

Patent number: 10685047Abstract: A system for processing queries from a user device may first generate an augmented query by determining weight values and synonyms for at least a portion of the parameters in the query, and adding or removing one or more query parameters. Correspondence between the augmented query and an existing set of data entries may be used to determine a subset of data entries that may be responsive to the query. Correspondence may then be determined between the augmented query and previous queries that were addressed by the subset of data entries, to determine a particular previous query having the greatest correspondence with the augmented query. The data entry associated with the particular previous query may be used to generate a response to the query received from the user device.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2016Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: TOWNSEND STREET LABS, INC.Inventors: Pratyus Patnaik, Marissa Mary Montgomery, Jay Srinivasan, Suchit Agarwal, Rajhans Samdani, David Colby Kaneda, Nathaniel Ackerman Rook

Patent number: 10358653Abstract: A process is provided of introducing an RNA into a living cell to inhibit gene expression of a target gene in that cell. The process may be practiced ex vivo or in vivo. The RNA has a region with double-stranded structure. Inhibition is sequence-specific in that the nucleotide sequences of the duplex region of the RNA and of a portion of the target gene are identical. The present invention is distinguished from prior art interference in gene expression by antisense or triple-strand methods.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2016Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignees: The Carnegie Institution of Washington, The University of MassachusettsInventors: Andrew Fire, Stephen Kostas, Mary Montgomery, Lisa Timmons, SiQun Xu, Hiroaki Tabara, Samuel E.

Patent number: 7757416Abstract: A portable and stowable quilting wall has generally rectangular body composed of a smooth backing sheet sewn peripherally to a mating front sheet of heavy nap felt. A top hem mounts spaced pieces of hook fasteners interspersed with holes. A bottom hem confines a heavy rod, while the backing sheet mounts strips of loop fasteners that are spaced to engage the hook fasteners when the wall is rolled up on itself to retain the quilting wall in a rolled-up condition for easy movement and storage. The felt nap releasably engages pieces of quilt pieces placed and retains them in both rolled-up and unrolled conditions, without the use of added adhesive or mechanical fasteners. The holes in the top hem receive hooks to hang the unrolled sheet against a wall or door, while the rod maintains the quilting wall flat against a vertical surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2007Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Inventors: Kim Shearrow, Mary Montgomery
